I have a small patch in exactly the same place on both sides. Nice colour choice Sean.I had a small bit of that on my Z3 too Sean, go one then, you can't just say I've ordered the paint. That's cruel!

Wish I had a choice of wheels at the moment mate, I am just refurbing the ones that are on the car which be be a bit of a let down, would love some 17s and some coil overs just to drop it a little, If anyone has any wheels for sale I would be interested,
Its getting exciting now buddy, just can't rush it at this stage, I've had a look at the formula and it has 2 different metallics, one is very coarse but it also has 3 pearls which you can clearly see in the pics where the colour switches tone, it also has quite a bit of green in it. I'll probably start painting on Wednesday next week.
Cheers pal, its quite an easy fix but it needs texture coating to look originalI have a small patch in exactly the same place on both sides. Nice colour choice Sean.
Luckily there is plenty of choice for wheels in Z3 fitment so when the time comes you'll have choice.
Check out the for sale section, there are a few sets for sale now. So much choice you might fry your brain so soon after choosing a colour so best give it some though!
Out of interest do these new BMW colors cost a lot more than the 'regular' older cookies?
Choosing the wheels will be easy, its just choosing the colour that I paint them in will kill me
As for colour prices they vary as per content, to give you an idea priced up both the orange and the blue, the orange was £33 per lt and the blue was 24,

Thanks Mike, its been some journey to get the right colour but I am over the moon with it so far, I didn't want to come home today, infact if was up to me I would be there all night. I still have a number of dilemma's such as wheel colour, mirror colour, rear bumper cut out colour and then theres the gills
There's one hell of a sparkle in that Sean. Going to look the ticket is that. Look forward to the finished article. Know where I'll be going for my next paint!
Cheers Grumpy, they have been baked at 70c and will be left to fully cure for a couple of days, they will then be flatted with 800 grit and re-laquered to get the final finish.There's one hell of a sparkle in that Sean.

Its not quite as impressive without the bright flash, heres a couple that I took without it, it will definately look better on a sunny day.
Loving the colour a fantastic choice and the cars gonna look stunning fantastic job !
Even in that light you can see the pearls doing their thing. I only have my iPhone so can't really pick out the flakes. I normally am not a blue lover but this is georgeous!! Great choice, I can only imagine what an orange or green would look like!! JIM
Cheers Jim, I'm hoping it sunny on Monday so I can get a rear wing outside.
Sunny! You having a giraffe!!
OK a bit of light would be nice
That might be a possibility.
Been sunny here today, can't wait to get to work in the morning
Same here Sean, beautiful morning at Torksey, clouded over a bit after lunch. Tomorrow looking good so we're waiting for pictures.

Bloody raining all day today, had another 8 hours and got the bonnet rear scuttle and door shuts painted, you can really see the flip tones, you would think that it is 2 different cars
